Old Hemlock Foundation

Old Hemlock was the home of George Bird and Kathryn Harris Evans. Mr. Evans was a noted artist, author, outdoorsman and dog breeder while Mrs. Evans co-authored and edited books. Old Hemlock contains virgin hemlock trees and is to be maintained in its natural state as a nature and wildlife preserve. The house located on Old Hemlock was built in about 1782 and is the oldest residence in its state of preservation in Preston County, West Virginia.
